Here are a few more pictures from CHA. This round of pics is all about Tim. ;) I tell you, if you ever get a chance to take a class from him, DO IT! He is amazing! I had the chance to sit in on one of his classes and I was blown away! {And believe me, it's not easy to blow me away!}

This was when it was a small crowd! It got much busier!

We are all now home from CHA in Chicago. The weather was HOT, but, the Sizzix Booth was even HOTTER! ;)

We had so many incredible new products to share, our booth was busy! I was busy demonstrating the new Framelits and the new Flip-its. We released nine sets of Framelits with Hero Arts, so they have matching stamps! (I also have a line of my own clear stamps with matching dies...)

We are just about to start the show here at CHA Summer here in Chicago. Exciting! Check out a sneaky peak at our Framelits line. More information will be posted on www.sizzix.com soon . We will be uploading more videos throughout the show! Stay tuned.
